Categories     Food Processor     Bake     Lunch     Buffet     Mayonnaise     Shrimp     Summer     Chill     Sour Cream     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 10 to 12 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For pumpernickel crust
9 ounces dense pumpernickel (about eight 4-inch-square slices; preferably Wild's multigrain Danish)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For shrimp filling
1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp (about 36)
3 tablespoons golden or red lumpfish caviar (from a 2-ounce jar)
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
freshly ground white pepper to taste
Garnish: coarsely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Make crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350° F. and lightly oil rim of a 12-inch tart pan with removable fluted rim.
  • Tear pumpernickel into pieces and in a food processor pulse until coarse crumbs. In a bowl stir together bread crumbs and butter until combined well and press onto bottom of tart pan. Bake crust in middle of oven 15 minutes, or until golden brown, and cool in pan on a rack.
  • Make filling:
  • Shell shrimp and if desired devein. In a saucepan of boiling salted water cook shrimp until just cooked through, about 1 minute, and drain in a colander. Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Coarsely chop shrimp.
  • If using red lumpfish caviar, in a fine sieve rinse and drain well. In a large bowl stir together shrimp, caviar, sour cream, mayonnaise, and heavy cream. In a small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice and water and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved. Cool mixture slightly and stir into shrimp mixture with chives, white pepper, and salt to taste.
  • Pour filling into crust, spreading evenly. Chill tart, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at least 6 hours, or until filling is set, and up to 1 day. Garnish tart with chives.

SHRIMP TOAST



Shrimp Toast image

Shrimp toast is one of the tastiest bites at the dim sum table. I didn't actually like shrimp toast growing up, but when I finally got around to trying it, I couldn't believe how much flavor was packed into one tiny unassuming square. These are crunchy on the outside, soft in the middle and really dangerous because they are so so addictive.

Provided by Molly Yeh

Time 25m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled, deveined and tails removed (the size does not really matter here)
1 large egg white
1 teaspoon sriracha, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
5 turns black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced
1 stalk lemongrass, end trimmed, dry outer leaves discarded, bottom few inches of white part bruised with the back of a knife and finely minced
3 slices potato bread (or white bread), crusts removed
2 to 3 quarts neutral oil (vegetable or peanut are fine)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Put the shrimp and egg white in a food processor and pulse until pasty but still a little chunky. Add the sriracha, salt, sesame oil, black pepper, garlic, scallions and lemongrass and pulse until just combined.
  • Divide the mixture among the bread slices and spread in an even layer to the edge. At this point, you can freeze the toasts while you heat the oil (although freezing is not totally necessary, it makes for cleaner cuts and easier handling).
  • Bring 1 1/2 inches of oil to 350 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot.
  • Cut each bread slice into 4 squares and sprinkle with the sesame seeds. Carefully place each piece shrimp-side down into the oil. Fry until golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove onto a rack or paper towel. Serve immediately drizzled with sriracha.

MARINATED SHRIMP, ONION AND TOMATO TART



Marinated Shrimp, Onion and Tomato Tart image

Provided by Marc Murphy

Number Of Ingredients 12

18 large shrimp
10 garlic cloves crushed
1 pinch saffron
1 cups olive oil
6 onions
1 (8-ounce) can peeled tomatoes
2 anchovies
1/4 cup Calamata olives
4 sprigs thyme
1 sheet puff pastry
2 heads frisee
6 bunches mache

Steps:

  • A day in advance of preparing this dish, marinate shrimp in a mixture of 4 cloves crushed garlic, black pepper, 1/2 cup olive oil and 1 pinch of saffron. Refrigerate overnight. To prepare the marmalade, peel onions and cut them in half and slice thin. In a saucepan over low heat with 2 tablespoons of oil, cook the onions until transparent. Drain the tomatoes, remove the seeds, chop roughly and add to the onions. Add chopped anchovies, chopped olives and thyme, cook for 3 hours on very low heat, stirring often. Meanwhile cut out 6 rounds of puff pastry about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Place on a baking sheet cover with a second sheet, and bake in the oven for 6 minutes at 350 degrees. Prepare the frisee by cutting off the green of the lettuce, use only the white part only. Chop frisee and wash well, reserve. In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, heat 1/4 cup olive until hot, and cook shrimp until pink and curled. Set the tomato marmalade on top of each tart round and warm in the oven for 5 minutes. Season the frisee with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. Take the tart out of the oven and set on a plate, dress some frisee on top of the tart and cover with shrimp. Garnish with the mache lettuce leaves. Drizzle olive oil around the tart and serve.

SHRIMP AND TOMATO TARTLETS



Shrimp and Tomato Tartlets image

This is not difficult to make if you are organized. I first prepared these while staying at the magnificent Chateau de Pray near the Loire Valley city of Amboise. This region is famous for crisp tart wines like Sancerre and the sweeter Vouvray, as well as cheese and freshwater fish and shellfish. The pastry dough can be made in a few minutes with a food processor; it can be done in advance and chilled. The tomato-based filling can also be made in advance. At the last minute, the tart shells are filled and baked. The shrimp are quickly sauteed and flavored with curry and then distributed over the finished tartlets. These tartlets look terrific and can be garnished in any number of ways -- maybe with red radicchio and green bibb lettuce.

Provided by Pierre Franey

Categories     appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus flour for working the dough
6 tablespoons butter, chilled and cubed
1/2 cup Gruyere cheese, grated
1/4 teaspoon salt
Tomato compote (see recipe)
1 tablespoon olive oil
16 jumbo shrimp (shelled), or scallops, crab meat, lobster or other shellfish
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups lamb's lettuce or bibb lettuce
Vinaigrette (see recipe)

Steps:

  • Place the flour, butter, cheese and salt in the container of a food processor, and blend until a ball forms.
  • Remove the dough, and chill for half an hour.
  • When the dough is ready, heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Transfer the dough ball to a floured surface, and flatten it slightly with the palm of your hand before beginning to roll. Sprinkle the dough with flour, and roll it evenly, making quarter turns after every few rolls. The dough should be about 1/8 inch thick. Using a 3- to 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out 4 circles to fit individual tartlet molds of roughly the same measurement. Lift the dough circles carefully with a spatula, and place them in the individual molds, pressing the dough into the molds firmly.
  • Fill each tart shell with about 3 tablespoons of tomato compote. Bake about 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, put the olive oil and the shrimp into a nonstick pan over high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with curry powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, 2 to 3 minutes; do not overcook. Remove to a plate.
  • In a mixing bowl, toss the lettuce and vinaigrette.
  • Unmold the tartlets, and place in the middle of serving plates. Top each tartlet with 4 shrimp. Arrange some lettuce decoratively around tartlets.

SHRIMP TARTLETS

Provided by Vino Girl

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 -2 teaspoon grated onion
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/8 teaspoon lemon juice
2 (2 1/8 ounce) packages frozen miniature phyllo tart shells
1/2 cup seafood sauce
30 medium cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

  • Combine cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, onion, garlic salt and lemon juice in a bowl.
  • Divide mixture evenly among 30 tart shells.
  • Top each shell with seafood sauce and one shrimp.
  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling.
  • Use Fresh, High-Quality Ingredients: The fresher and higher quality your ingredients are, the better your shrimp tart will taste. Look for plump, firm shrimp, and use fresh herbs and vegetables whenever possible.
  • Do Not Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks very quickly, so it's important to not overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp just until it turns opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a Blind-Baked Tart Crust: A blind-baked tart crust will help prevent the crust from getting soggy. To blind-bake a tart crust, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line the tart pan with parchment paper and fill it with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  • Make Sure the Filling is Thick Enough: The filling for your shrimp tart should be thick enough to hold its shape. If the filling is too thin, it will spread out too much when you bake it. To thicken the filling, you can add some cornstarch or flour.
  • Chill the Tart Before Serving: Once the shrimp tart is baked, let it cool completely before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.

Conclusion:

This Shrimp Tart recipe is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, creamy filling, and tender shrimp, this tart is sure to impress your guests. Whether you're serving it as an appetizer or a main course, this shrimp tart is sure to be a hit.
